ent varieties of cauliflower that are grown for their color; these do
not need blanching.
Cauliflower needs a moderately rich soil. When preparing your
garden bed, add in several inches of compost or aged animal manure
as well as some fertilizer rich in phosphorus. This is a good area of
your garden to put shredded leaves; cauliflower will do well with
them decomposing in the bed. Cauliflower is also a great vegetable
to mulch because the soil needs to be kept moist, especially if there
is a long dry spell.
